In this unit, we will have lots of fun making a fireplace for our wall and hanging our homemade stockings. We introduce the letter K and make a Kris Kringle Puppet. On Number 5 day we make a neat number five flip book. We end our week by learning about St. Nicholas. We make a shoe and set it out during our naptime in hopes that St. Nicholas leaves us a special surprise.

This unit starts us off investigating Christmas holly. We use our handprints to make a tree. We learn about the letter V and do some fun activities surrounding the letter. We explore who helps Santa out at the North Pole when we do fun lessons about elves and reindeer. We count out Reindeer in our counting book and eat elf sandwiches for lunch. We close our week of holiday celebrations by learning about Gingerbread and make gingerbread houses.

In this unit, we decorate our Christmas Trees. We have fun with Jingle bells and do fun activities with the color RED. We have fun making sugar cone Christmas trees and make a tree pattern book. You cannot decorate a Christmas tree without the star. We have fun taking pictures for our “I’m a Star frame”. Towards the end of the week we have fun making stocking crafts and pattern candy canes.
